"God forbid we should see a Russian revolt - senseless and merciless," Pushkin wrote in The Captain's Daughter... and removed the chapter with these words from the novel. Beautiful words, but wrong. Russian rebellion is not at all senseless. Far from always ruthless. And to see it is an impression cruel, but for the mind and soul purifying. Rebellion Emelian Pugachev shook the Russian Empire in 1773-1775 years. It was a time of absolutism and world leadership for Russia. But how did the Age of Enlightenment engender the horde demands of the rebels? The Pugachevshchina is very complicated. It had very bizarre causes and was heterogeneous to the point of fantasy. Alexei Ivanov's book "Forks" is a search for an answer to the question "What is Pugachevshchina?". This question can be formulated differently: "What is Russia like from the inside?" The author offers his method of answering: "to superimpose history on the territory". To pass now, in the XXI century, the ancient roads of the great rebellion and try to understand who we are on this earth.
